Kabaya maracas

Purchased in Japan. I don't know if 'maracas' is the real name, but some of the characters are holding them, so that's what I'm calling it. Gummy candy with a nice chewy bit to it. Flavors are okay, seems to get by more on the novelty factor. There's a packet inside which I thought might be a desiccant (do not eat) packet. From the picture directions on the back, it seems you're supposed to pour the powder contents of the packet into the package and shake the gummies in it. The powder didn't stick particularly well to the gummies; maybe you're supposed to lick them first. On its own, the powder tastes like Ramune (Japanese Sprite), but with a bit of menthol. Maybe that's the arctic animal theme. Speaking of arctic animals, polar bears eat seals. Maybe they shouldn't be packaged together.
